[PyQt] Selection of MDI Child and Properties

[B Clowers]

So I've been trying to alter the mdi.py example packaged with PyQt and allow the contents of the child windows to be altered using the python interpreter.  I've been successful in adding a python shell to the main user interface in a way similar to OpenAlea but really have no clue how to access the current window as a variable.

For example is it possible to type a command in the python interpreter that would allow text to be added directly to the window that has the current focus?  Something like:

child1.setText("foo bar")

As I did not write the python interpreter add-on I wonder if the threading is such that this is not possible.  Does anyone have a solution or an idea how to make this happen?  Do I need to create some global variables that get reset each time I change the focus or can they exist for each child window individual--the latter would be ideal.  I can post some the code but it is U-G-L-Y upon request.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Cheers,

Brian
